Florida Sen. Marco Rubio had some tough questions put to him Wednesday by survivors of the Stoneman Douglas school shooting, and Twitter was loving it.

Colbert then noted that instead, the Gop-dominated legislature went on to approve a bill that declared porn “dangerous.” “What do you have against teenagers?” Colbert asked. “First you won’t do anything about guns, now you’re taking away their porn.” “What are you doing in there?!” Colbert, miming a parent knocking on...

The cabler has renewed two of its half-hour comedies, “High Maintenance” and “Crashing,” for third seasons.

“High Maintenance,” which is created by Katja Blichfeld and Ben Sinclair, returned for its 10-episode second season run on January 19. Providing a peek into the cramped apartments, grinding routines and urban neuroses of New Yorkers, the show stars Sinclair as The Guy, a bearded, pot-dealing deliveryman whose growing clientele keeps him busier than ever.

We may never know what the original plan for “Justice League” was. The movie obviously underwent some major changes during its production, specifically when directing duties were handed off from Zack Snyder to Joss Whedon. But elements that made their way into the finished film seem to hint at what could have been.
